Montréal is recognized as the world’s top university centre for artificial intelligence. Researchers from IVADO, the Institute for Data Valorization, are working hard to find solutions to managing big data and develop applications to improve people’s lives.

With the Digital Spring and producers and distributors like the Society for Arts and Technology, Montréal has become a laboratory where everything is possible, from designing software solutions to creating immersive environments and healthcare applications. Nothing is left to chance. Read about our game design program.
